Heavily inspired by the rule-based work of Sol LeWitt- Robbie Barrat used GPT-2, OpenAI’s language generation model, to generate text describing the rules of a drawing, which Barrat then follows to write a generative sketch, mirroring the mechanic of how Sol LeWitt’s rule cards were executed into wall drawings. Work completed in September 2019.
